The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner makes use of an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
